President Donald Trump aides who were incidentally surveilled in meetings with foreign officials,

Just out of curiosity, which country were these "foreign officials" from that so many Trump aides were meeting with? The Daily Caller, for some strange reason, deliberately makes it a point not to mention which country's officials the Trump aides were having clandestine meetings with. Perhaps you know?

Sweden. I bet it was Sweden.

Hmmn.....lets see, I bet it was Russia. Does that fit your narrative now???
Donald Trump when running for the office of president said he would be willing to meet with Putin to talk about common goals against Islamic Terrorism.

Yes,classy to stand on a stage and talk like the currant president invented bigotry.

Funny how people are supporting this because of its anti Trump aspects but yet could not stand the speakers when they were in office.

None of these presidents never supported Live Aid,Farm Aid etc when they were in office,why the shift now?

When you get on stage to support those effected by disaster and use that stage to push a political agenda,it shows that they care about the impacted areas about as much as they did while in office,very little.

Didn't vote for him, but the hatred for, and disdain that Donald Trump is somehow president is increasingly quite ecumenical!!
Everyone can join in, united! The 'United States' indeed! I keep pinching myself that this is not a dream (nightmare):Hillary Clinton, Sanders and Trump were our major candidates? The best we could muster?! Awakening to this! No kidding!?

Why do dems love their superdelegates in their Primaries but balk at The Electoral College in the Main Event? Does their hypocrisy also come into this?

Because political parties, as private institutions, can create their own set of rules as to how they want to nominate their party's representatives for office. The GOP also has super-delegates. The GOP also changed their own rules after 2012 specifically to thwart the ambitions of Ron Paul (Rule 40).

Are these things fair? No, of course not. But to compare how political parties nominate their own candidates for office to how a general election is supposed to work in a country that is supposed to be a democracy is asinine and ignorant. There is nothing democratic about the Electoral College. Nothing. It's inherently anti-democratic. We directly elect our Senators now, whereas previously the Founding Fathers decided that they should be chosen by state legislatures. That was anti-democratic too, and we changed it for the better.

California is Dem Land; a one party state. As such, it might be considered a vision of where the Democratic Party is taking us as a nation. Victor Davis Hanson lives in California and offers this critique of California as a one party state. California now ranks 49th in infrastructure and 46th in 8th grade test scores. The 1% is thriving there while the California's middle class is escaping.

49th in infrastructure and 46th in 8th grade test scores? Sounds like he just cherry picked the statistics that California performed the worst in. I don't typically jump to "8th grade test scores" as my first metric for measuring whether a state is well-run or not. For example, Michigan (which last time I checked had a GOP Governor and a huge GOP majority in the state legislature) was 40th in 8th grade test scores.

So if we want to quantify based on party control, I count 6 "red" states, two "blue" states (counting DC as a "state" for comparison purposes), and two purple states where the governor's mansion and legislature are split between the Democrats and the GOP.

Is this the vision of where the GOP is taking us a nation? Just using your own metric of success here...

Restoration and renovation of the corner of Woodward and Baltimore nears completion. The decades-long abandoned properties have been transformed into residential lofts. Around the corner from the White Castle sign, a larger residential development is midway through completion. Rail lines of the recently launched light rail Q-line, linking this New Center location to Downtown Detroit, appear in the foreground. https://www.detroityes.com/mb/showthread.php?20588-14-million-New-Center-Development-at-Woodward-and-Baltimore

The formerly bleak Milwaukee Junction rises. In the foreground, a recently restored condo/commercial project on Milwaukee at Beaubien features the bar Kiesling, on the corner, already anointed as one of Detroitās hotspot pubs. Brown-papered windows to its left mask a soon-to-be-opened coffee house. $250K condos above and below are already sold and occupied. Behind work progresses on the nine story āChromaā located on E. Grand Blvd. and Beaubien. The former storage warehouse is being converted into a co-working space and a food hall.
